Did Music Make Me Dumb?

Can singing certain lyrics manifest your future?

Music plays an important role in my life. Certain melodies transform my emotional state. Songs like: “Rainbow Connection,” by Kenny Loggins, “In my Life,” by The Beatles, “Ride In Peace,” by Marshall Tucker, and “Silent Lucidity,” by Queensryche are songs I play to reminisce about my grandmother and others who have crossed over because they touch my heart in a joyful way.

In my previous blog, “Energy Purge,” I talked about removing music that doesn’t serve my highest good. It’s helped reduce complaining and negative thoughts. A few months ago, I discovered speeches from Neville Goddard, and his work has confirmed I am on the right path.

Goddard’s teachings stated how imagination has a huge impact on our lives. What has impacted me most by studying his books- was to avoid saying, “I am” in a way I do not want to feel or become. - Anytime I would make a mistake at work I use to say, “Oh, I’m an idiot.” If I made an error playing a game with friends, “I am a dumbass.” When I looked at myself in a mirror, I said, “I am out of shape.”

Little did I know that by saying these harmful words about myself, I was creating a path for more opportunities of disaster. Once these statements came out of my mouth, my subconscious mind interpreted them as, “Mike is a dumbass. Let’s show him more ways how he interprets being a dumbass.”

Working on my personal growth and studying how my subconscious mind works, I put an end to saying these negative “I am” statements, and I’ve tuned in to how many times I hear others around me make them: “I am depressed,” “I am sad,” “I am angry.” And I fear that that talk may take over their lives.

I started reflecting on my past and wondered if it was possible that music lyrics also played a role on my previous conditions. Singing songs unconsciously with lyrics such as “I think I’m dumb…..” “I’m a loser.. and sooner or later you’ll know I’ll be dead…” “Lonely.. I’m so lonely” that are heavy on the heart, it’s no wonder why my past was loaded with unfavorable circumstances and situations.

I now enjoy hard rock and metal genres. These genres enhance my focus. I do not become angry listening to these. I also looked up the lyrics to most songs I enjoy, and as long as there is no “I am” statements, I feel my subconscious can dodge those bullets in avoiding poor manifestations.

If I hear songs with distasteful lyrics using “I am”, I turn them off. If I cannot turn them off, I am sure to bite my lip, and not sing along.. In fact, while writing this blog I played those songs I mentioned earlier. Inside I shake my head, and vision an eject button to remove them from my subconscious mind.
